Twiddleybitz at CHA !!

The bosses at Twiddleybitz have given permission for me to tell some exciting news !!!!  Twiddleybitz are now available in The US and Canada.....distributed by Select Imports and if you are lucky enough to get to CHA, they are at stand #4418....
This is a 12 x 12 frame I did, using some of the new Doyle border and corners.  Before adding these I attached some lace to soften the frame.  I have also used some of the new Mushrooms....these come in 3 sizes.   I used all three.  I have also used some of my favs...the fern leaves and a Victorian fancy oval frame with mirror (up the top RH side).  I also added a white Prima vine, some red flowers...and one of the new Faires (hiding behind the red flower)...I loved doing this LO and frame....and am working on another Fairy themed 12 x 12 frame and LO.
Bye bye for now !!!

My First Dt project for Scraptivate

Well.......I've been given the OK, to show my 1st DT project for Scraptivate. Natalie gave me a great kit, which had in it, a Prima Canvas album. I was a bit nervous at first.....I had never decorated one before (although I do have one tucked away in my stash).....but it was great fun !!!!! Inks, paint....stamps.....ANYTHING....I had a ball !!!! I glued, stamped and stapled on every spare space......
I decided to do a Heritage album....I have loads of Heritage photos.....and have been involved in tracing back, and recording my family History. For me it could be an old song, a whiff of old lavender perfume....or the smells that remind me of when I was little. I remember, many times....Mum cooking something or other, and her saying to me......I remember MY Mum....your granny.... making this when I was a little girl. These are the memories I hold close to my heart.....and having lost, my beautiful Mum, nearly 3 years ago......They are precious to me.....and I want to keep these memories alive for "my" daughter. Now some of the recipes in this book....I probably wont recreate.......such as the "Haggis".....But it is a part of my family Heritage....and needs to be remembered !!!
My Recipe book has many pages....so please call in to Scraptivate to have a closer look........Or if you have a "hankering" for Haggis......feel free to copy the recipe !!! NOT !!!

I am currently working on my next DT project.......and really looking forward to this one !!!!! Its base is one of my favorite things.....
So....when it's finished.....and I get the Ok from the boss......I'll be back to show you.....Meanwhile....have finished a few Twiddleybitz projects, but not allowed to share yet !!!! So ....Bye for now.....

Another blog hop !!

Welcome to another Twiddleybitz blog hop !!! My second.....ever. If you started at the beginning with the lovely Anne-Marie you would have seen how clever and talented the Twiddleybitz DT are !!!! Well it's my turn now....and although I don't have a tutorial for you...I do have some Fantastic OTP Twiddleybitz to show you. The first is an oldie, but a goodie !!!! I think it has so many different uses. How about a Christmas treat train ???? There are Twiddleybitz pieces all over this thing !!!! And LOADS AND LOADS of glitter !!This next piece was made up of leftover pieces of Twiddleybitz....because I sooooo.... wanted to make a wishing well....I would like to make another...maybe Mr Twiddleybitz could be talked into making them.....so we could ALL do a wishing well.....What do you think????

Ok....and last, but not least......Mr and Mrs Twiddleybitz gave me a new product to play with.....I believe they will be available in January. A High Tea Party Set....The cupcake stand, the Menu, the invitations and the single cake stand......I really enjoyed decorating this. I used some beautiful pink/lemon/white paper.....think it was Doodlebug Designs. Some pearls...(lots of pearls!) Painted the base white...covered the three sections in paper.....top and bottom. Added some Prima flowers...different sizes per layer...then added some more beautiful Prima to the base. it also comes with the cutest little teapot/cups embellishments....and cupcakes !!!

My 6YO daughter has put an order in, for one of her own!!!!



Now dont forget to leave a comment, at every blog you visit....there are prizes, up for grabs....I believe the lovely Rachel Walsh is next on this blog hop.....So hop on over....and see what goodies Rachel has to show you.

So...to all of you.....Have a Very Twiddley Christmas !!!!

decide to use them for......I am also working on some SECRET SQUIRREL stuff.....but will show you when the boss says its OK !!!!
Hope you like....
I just love this time of year....decorations...the shopping, the music...the anticipation....the faces of my cherubs when they open their pressies.....cooking the Xmas fare....getting the reindeer food and Santa's snack....EVERYTHING......But I think I may only get another year or two of "BELIEVING" !!!! SOoooo... Sad .....
